John Edzerza is a Canadian politician. He currently represents the electoral district of McIntyre-Takhini in the Yukon Legislative Assembly.
Political career
He first entered politics in 2002 as a Yukon Party MLA, and served as Minister of Justice and Minister of Education in Dennis Fentie's cabinet.
After disagreeing with a number of government decisions in early 2006, he resigned from the Yukon Party on August 2, 2006 to sit as an independent MLA, and recontested his seat in that fall's territorial election as a candidate of the Yukon New Democratic Party. He was re-elected, and served in the NDP caucus under Todd Hardy until January of 2009, when he resigned from the NDP to sit again as an independent.[1]
